That Time I Went Live on Facebook and It Was a Disaster

A few weeks ago I did Facebook live for the first time. And it was awesome. I looooooved hanging out with you guys and I was like, “I wanna do that again!” So I did. And it was awesome. Because actually interacting with you guys in real time is amazing. So today I was like, “I’ve got some time before pickup. Let’s go live again!” And this time I was all cool like, “I got this. I’m not nervous. I’ve done this before. BTDT biatches!”

I couldn’t see the comments. I panicked because the WHOLE POINT is seeing the comments and responding to them. Otherwise it’s just me sitting there by myself not hearing or seeing anything talking into a bubble of nothing. So I shut off the feed to try and fix it. I frantically searched Google for an answer as to WHY this was happening to me. No answers were to be found. I pinged a friend who is good at Facebook. She didn’t know what was up. So I tried again. And again. And finally I pulled out my laptop to read the comments off of there, but they would only pop up for a second and then disappear. And OMG what a sh*tshow. A sh*tshow witnessed by 300,000 people. Sigh.

But it’s in these moments that I thank my lucky stars that I don’t have this “perfect” persona. That I don’t have a channel about being the “perfect” mother. That I’ve been real about being a mess all along. Because I am. I’m a mess. I’m trying my best in life, but the truth is I am FAR from perfect. And that’s OK.

So you all saw the real me today. The messy, stressy, real me. All caught on Facebook live. And that’s OK.

It was Facebook’s fault, obviously. And we didn’t care about the problems although I know it was too frustrating for you. That’s way it always is. You do something, you gain confidence and then when you’re feeling yeah I’m good I got this. Shit happens. No worries. We love you always💜💜💜
